The CANNON® miniPV and miniPV-X are automated, benchtop viscometers for the unattended processing and testing of up to 10 samples in organic solvents and aqueous solutions for dilute solution viscosity (DSV) of polymers and kinematic viscosity (KV) for general purpose applications.
Features and Benefits
Designed For Your Testing Needs
- A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
- Viscosity range for DSV from 0.3 to 700 mm2/s (cSt)
- Viscosity range for KV from 0.02 to 1,200 mm2/s (cSt)
- Excellent temperature control (±0.01°C) from 15 to 100 °C with integrated Thermoelectric cooling
- On-board software determines dynamic (with optional density meter), inherent, intrinsic, reduced, and specific viscosity, plus molecular weight
Fully Automated
- Unattended operation up to 10 samples
- Lowers operator-to-operator variation
- Automated washing and drying replaces manual tube cleaning
- Software controls the instrument and simplifies calibration, data entry, method selection, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting
- Employing VISCPRO® software, one PC can manage up to four instruments
Sealed System
- Eliminates sample evaporation
- Reduces operator exposure to harmful chemicals
- Allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples
